The Audio-Technica BP3600 is an eight-channel immersive audio microphone designed for capturing three-dimensional sound beds at sporting events, concerts, festivals and film sets. Its near-coincident array of eight hypercardioid capsules arranged in a cube formation produces discrete, well-separated signals that integrate directly into immersive audio codecs such as MPEG-H 3D Audio without further processing.
